15 Mins.; Full Stage. Ben M. Jerome has been a favourite composer in Chicago for some years. He has now essayed to go into the varieties, where he is offering some of his old melodies and some new. He presides at a grand piano for his opening. Later a woman sings one of his latest songs, and a man arrives still alter to do a “wop” number. Some of the old Jerome favorites are sung off the stage by the man and woman, who alter come on for a romping child song. The act is a little awkward as yet, and the singers are not quite at ease. Some of the selections might be changed with advantage.
